    I had to go look at their post history from a few years ago because I couldn't believe that someone could be this ridiculous.

    I hate all religion. Hopefully America follows their example.

    A friend once told me the homeless are homeless because they decided not to follow in the path of God.

    Our race would have progressed much further without religion. It holds us back since people believe in imaginary beings. Hell, one religion thinks inspiration comes from a spirit. They underestimate their own race and blame their actions and findings on something that doesn't exist.
    They are trolling.

    What?

    Good deeds will be rewarded as heaven and bad deeds with hell for all eternity?

    I'm sorry, but that is not morality. That is innately immoral.

    Overpopulation is not why the homeless in, lets say, the US are going hungry.
    Lack of resources is not a problem.

    for something to be an opinion, it needs to be subjective (IE favourite ice cream flavour)

    what you said is OBJECTIVELY WRONG

    so it's not an "unpopular" opinion
    it's a wrong opinion

    there's a difference

    it's like me saying

    "well my unpopular opinion is that if you throw three rocks behind you and say "jimini minimi habana pebede" you can walk on water for exactly 25.7 minutes"

    I'm sure his fascist friends would love to add some other groups to that list.
    But they'd love the idea, that is for sure.

    Well, then my point 1 would cover that, and we'd castrate the homeless for still not being able to pursue a job or resources even after having half of the planet die. Sux2suk.

    My 2 point plan is FLAWLESS. Admit it.

    Nope, it's objectively RIGHT. Castrate the undesirables.

    So sad that even in an UNPOPULAR opinion thread, all the white knights SJWs are getting triggered.

    If you don't want to get triggered, then maybe don't click on a thread you KNOW would trigger you? Jeez.

    If you want to ignore how people become homeless in capitalist hellholes like the US.

    Maybe you and that Cruor guy should both go under the definition of "Sociopath", or would that be too much?

    Hmm ok,
    I'm fiscally conservative but I believe we need social programs for those who have fallen on hard times until they can get back on their feet.
    I like the ideas presented in socialism: universal healthcare, free secondary education via either a state university, trade school, or stipend while doing an apprenticeship.
    I believe gigantic corporations should pay taxes based on sales in each country they operate in to prevent Apple, Amazon, Wal Mart from paying next to nothing because they put an office in Ireland to avoid paying taxes.
    I believe people should not have children if they can't support them.
    I believe in a livable wage for all. Meaning if you are working to support yourself you should have a better quality of life than the guy who sits on his ass collecting welfare.
    I believe you should not benefit from a system you have not contributed to or are not currently bettering yourself to get to where you can contribute.
    I believe employers should hire the best person for the job regardless of race, gender, or sexual preference.
    I believe all people should have the same rights as everyone else regardless of race, gender, sexual preference, or religious affiliation.
    I believe if a woman wants to have an abortion she should have that right with no one else sticking their nose in her business.
    I believe your personal religion is not a valid excuse for wanting to deny other people's rights like marriage equality, adoption ability, etc.
    I believe there is no reason for your average Joe to an AR 15 and that people who use the second amendment based on what the forefathers desired are delusional.
    I believe the internet should be free and unhindered by money grubbing corporations.
    I believe the US government should be scrapped and a new Constitution written.
    That's just some of the controversial feelings I have

    Not at all. It just like teaching a child right from wrong. There are good consequences and bad ones for one's actions. Consequences cannot be immoral since you are the cause of them. If you do something bad, you don't have any right to say that your punishment is unfair.

    Of course people have died in the name of religion. These all happened to be the wrong ones, however. No one has ever killed in the name of Jesus because that literally goes against his teachings. Have people killed in the name of God? Yes. But Jesus and God are not the same.

    As for your list, basically it reads exactly like anything I could have predicted, however believe it or no I understand where it is you are coming from on some of what you posted.

    But like most of what you type it's misguided.
    What that you posted is unpopular with Liberals? They do think Trump supporters are racist and sexist, for sure. racist = REALIST.

    The only one I would agree with you that they disgaree on is this one:

    Test in school should require 100% or 90% on all test for grading and make every student show their work, not just in math or science.

    With that one, they would claim you are discriminating against non whites and Asians, because the tests are made for them, and are designed to make people of color (non Asian) fail, or some other such hogwash.

    Care to enlightne me on what else they disagree with? Other than maybe super hero movies are dumb, maybe the first thing you have said I agree with. I like DC and Marvel, I just think the movies have been bad... I don't understand why they change the base material. The animated movies are mostly good.

    Dude with 17k post and sig "Bash the fascists" is triggered after hearing the cold harsh truth about human and their 100k years of war/murder/rape/genocide/torture.

    You're just as much as an animal as I am, friendo. We're all here because at some point our ancestors raped our other ancestors and they had a child that had a shitty life full of cheating/lying/stealing/murder and came out ahead to make more babies and continue that line.

    You're not above it, you're part of it. You're just too blind to see it because you can now live your entire life behind the safety of anonymity, internet porn, and Amazon 2-day prime shipping.

    Meh, might as well:

    Obamacare proves that the US isn't ready for universal healthcare. It would become political football for whoever was in power and various groups of Americans would suffer as a result.

    Midwesterners (and I am one) have grown lazy, arrogant, and unhealthy -- all things they want to blame on others. Our famous cool headed, middle of the road politics have completely faded as a result.

    The American right is a complete mess, and has become increasingly ineffective. Its policy organs are aging, and nothing is rising up to replace them. It's all grievance culture now with no actual, realistic policies that can be implemented. I expect the right to "collapse" in the sense it will be radically different within a generation -- most likely something moderately libertarian with its most conservative aspects being economic and not social.

    The left is split between Marx (not communist) inspired concern over economic issues and post-modernist identity politics, and while both are important aspects of the wing they're currently at odds.

    That said, it's looking like the differences are mending, and the future of the left will most likely be female and people of color led who will take a liberal stance on economics and a more moderate stance on social issues as social conservatism flames out. I don't see the culture wars continuing for much longer, and minority concerns won't be as much of a debate in the future. It's already happening in some corners of the country.

    Since we are spewing our hot takes:

    - Socialists in America are by all means and purposes republicans. Their puritanism helps the GOP.

    - Democrats are the only decent party in the US.

    - Rose being Pink Diamond is good only if the Crewniverse doesn't try to portray in good light.

    - Math is not THAT useful but employers seem enamored by it, so you should still take a lot of math courses for the signal value.

    - Trade with China has been on net bad and the previous presidents were acting like cucks by ignoring how its more obvious abuses.

    - Peridot is overrated. Like yeah, she was excellent in the second season but she has become way too much of a comedic relief ever since.

    - The idea that trading will eventually bring a liberal democracy in a totalitarian shit-hole is bullshit.

    - Foreign aid is not THAT bad.

    - The third season of Steven universe was the better one and the first season wasn't that bad.

    - The EU Agricultural policy is evil. It deprives African farmers from a huge market unless they decide to basically starve their citizens.

    - Most occupational licenses are unnecessary and serve the only purpose to enrich a select few.

    - Steven is the most boring character in Steven Universe.

    We haven't castrated nearly enough people to get a sample size large enough for you to say it's OBJECTIVELY wrong. Prove me wrong with facts right now!
